What is paperbacking? This means the poster was backed onto a paper backing (acid-free), that is similar in feel to that of the original poster (except somewhat heavier). It is a similar process to linenbacking, except that most collectors use linenbacking for one-sheets and paperbacking for half-sheets, inserts, window cards, and lobby cards. Condition: very good to fine. The poster was never folded. Prior to paperbacking, the poster had creases and smudges around the edges with a 1" tear near the center of the bottom border and a few small tears in the borders. There were pinholes in the corners with tiny paper loss, caused by rough removal of the pins. Overall, the poster was in very good to fine condition prior to paperbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well! Learn More about condition grades
